Hi pingskills, I have been training for a year now and have been able to get intermediate strokes but my footwork lets me down, how can I improve my footwork? And how can I further improve my strokes.

Hi Virgil,

In our Strokes and Techniques section we have a series on Footwork that will help you.

The main thing to think about initially is to get a good stance and then to focus on how to remain balanced during the movement.

With improvement of your game in general take a look at our Beginner Building Blocks of Table Tennis. This will show you how to move from learning your strokes to be ing able to improve your game play.

Backhand Topspin Against Block

We delve into the essential techniques for executing a consistent backhand topspin against a block. We cover three critical aspects:​

  1. Foot Position: Ensuring a stable and balanced stance to facilitate quick movements.​ 
  2. Start Position: Positioning your racket and body correctly to initiate the stroke effectively.​ 
  3. Finish Position: Completing the stroke in a way that prepares you for the next shot.​ 

Additionally, we discuss how to adjust your bat angle if the ball goes long, emphasizing the importance of maintaining the same start and finish positions without coming across your body.​

Whether you're a beginner aiming to build a solid foundation or an advanced player looking to refine your technique, this comprehensive guide is designed to enhance your game.
